I have not participated in the Have the Cake Challenge in a few months, but when I saw it was pumpkin themed, I had to do it! I love this time of year with the pumpkin recipes and Halloween themed goodies!

I found this recipe on the Very Best Baking website. They have such yummy looking stuff.

My granddaughter, Samantha had spent the night after the whole family watched the original "Halloween"movie. The next morning, I asked if she wanted to help make cupcakes and she yelled "YES!" I think she was excited! She loves to bake with Grammy. My daughter and the rest of her family came over later. She and her son, Austin helped to decorate the cupcakes. I think for the decorating, I put orange food coloring in the icing and helped spread on. The two of them did the rest.

The recipe was easy to do. The chocolate and pumpkin blended great together and it was not too much a pumpkin flavor, just enough.
